A Speck of Dust

The end of a cycle
Might be a new beginning
Or maybe it leads to oblivion
You may not know what’s next
But should you really care?
As life passes and goes by
You’ll go away
Cherish every moment
It could be the last
Savour all the flavours
Even the ones that will leave you aghast
Life is unpredictable
Oftentimes you have to give up control
One thing is certain
You can’t force it
Let things unroll
Even though the pain and the suffering
Take you down
Spin you around the edge
When hopelessness settles
Just remember that…
WE ARE
BUT A SPECK OF DUST
We’re just a speck in a pale blue dot
So unimportant
In the universe
You’ll decompose like the rest of the lot
Flesh and blood
Into the earth
We’re just a speck in a pale blue dot
Fret not!
Your time will come
No way to find out what lies above
Most likely nothing
Just emptiness
Leaving everything behind
A bitter admixture to hearts
Already brimful with sorrow
No matter how rational the mind
Prepare and embrace
Life is taking its toll
We are but a speck of dust

Decay Dance

Reflections in the mirror
Tell me what I can’t see
A Faceless soul
Void of purpose
Wandering aimlessly
Waking from an ever-repeating dream
Only to find out the nightmare
I’ve been in
Feels like I’m
Sleepwalking
During a sleep paralysis
The demons I came across
In the path are nothing
But myself
Facing the struggle
Of everyday life
Routines supposed to help
But I can’t even try
How come I feel alone
Among this crowd?
Wearing a mask to hide my own true self
Trying to pretend that everything’s fine
Only to find out that I’ve left
Too much behind
Feels like I’m
Nothing more than
An empty shell
A soulless body
No longer human
Emptiness
Even though nothing
Matters anymore
Pain I still feel
And a dread of the void
All this combined
Will lead me to the ground deep bellow
Must take the mask off and face my inner self
The mask that I wear can’t hide these tears
Pouring out feelings that live deep within
Living a lie until I disappear
Anxiously waiting for the end
Time is running
There’s no way to make amends
Anxiously waiting for the end
My last moves
In the decay dance

ILL
I feel so ill
I feel so ill
Locked in the prison of my mind
Tired of my own inner sight
Thoughts that don’t let me breath out
It makes me sick to be myself
ILL
I feel so ill
I feel so ill
Trying to escape from these walls
Boundaries that make me feel lost
Looking for guidance in this mess
Neglected and so helpless
The day I fear to show my true self
Will be the day I become ill

Natural C(o)urse

Brought to this world
As bringer of joy
I started my path
The Natural Course
Flabbergasted by the wonders of life
Careless walking along the tracks of Earth
Getting the grips of reality
Things start to fade away
I wanna give up
Put all the things aside
I won’t give up
Although I think I might
Drifting out of consciousness
Recalling the bittersweet
Moments I had
Regretting oversights and mistakes
I have made
I will go back and find my way
Floating away
Drowning in the currents of life
Carrying the burden
Of my existence
Leaving this world
As a bringer of sorrow
I’ve completed the path
Of the Natural Curse

Crossing the valley of doom
Climbing the utmost high peaks
Lost in the mist of my thoughts
A quest to feel anything
Riding a highway with no destination or purpose
Under the ruins of a feeble and fragmented mind
The predicament of an apathetic existence
Perpetually moving but going nowhere
Crossing the valley of doom
Climbing the utmost high peaks
Lost in the mist of my thoughts
A quest to feel anything
Crepuscular rays shine below the horizon
The breeze takes away all my worries
Time goes away
In a path full of mistakes
A heart in a box of grey
The sun doesn’t light my way
Crossing the valley of doom
Climbing the utmost high peaks
Lost in the mist of my thoughts
A quest to feel anything
Speeding up looking for some destination or purpose
Driving fast, trying to get away from myself
Going above the limits, road’s and my own
Melancholy is all that lies ahead
A moonless night seizes all light
The cold embrace of nothingness awaits
Time goes away
In a path full of mistakes
A heart in a box of grey
The sun doesn’t light my way
